Two swatters. One for the fly on the ceiling, one for the roach behind the fridge. Both fold up to 120° so you can reach the spot a flat paddle never could — then rinse them clean under the tap.

The flat plastic swatter can't reach a roach wedged in a corner, and when it finally connects, it connects hard — on your wall, your counter, your ceiling. The old wire-mesh zapper only works on things that fly, sparks like a downed power line at 2 a.m., and you can't run it under water because of the metal. And the spray? The spray is worse than the bug.
Meanwhile the bug is behind the fridge, under the bed, or up in the ceiling corner. Which is exactly where none of these things go.
So we built one that goes there.
Built different
01 — Static hold
Most zappers turn one problem into two: now there's a dead roach on the floor and it's still your job. ZAPPER+ holds it. After the shock, static keeps the bug on the paddle surface long enough to carry it to the trash. Give it a shake over the can and it drops. Nothing falls on your rug, nothing splatters on the wall, and your hands never touch it.
02 — The head bends
The paddle is built on a flexible conductive frame, so it gives instead of fighting you. The fly swatter bends up to 120°, the mosquito swatter up to 90°. That means wall corners, ceiling edges, the gap under the bed, the two inches behind the couch — you press it flat against the surface and the bug has nowhere left to be.
03 — Rinse it clean
When the paddle gets grim, run it under water. Wipe it down. Use it again. The whole unit is built to be washed, which is a sentence you cannot say about a wire-mesh zapper — those short out the first time they get wet, so people just live with a dirty one forever.
04 — No metal mesh
The grid is a patented conductive thermoplastic, not wire — that's what makes the paddle bendable and washable in the first place. The body is recyclable plastic. And because you're using it instead of a can of spray, nothing gets aerosolized into the room you sleep in.
05 — Light enough to swing all day
The fly swatter is 97 g. You can hold it out at arm's length, chase something around the kitchen for a full minute, and not feel it in your wrist. The mosquito swatter is 187 g and covers a wider area for anything airborne. Neither one is the reason you gave up.
06 — One cable, low draw
USB Type-C. No hunting for AAs in the junk drawer, no buying a four-pack every summer. Output is 1 W at 5 V 0.5 A — it sips. And there's a press-to-fire safety lock on the handle, so it only charges up when you're actually holding the button down.
How it works
Three steps, and your hands stay clean the whole time.
STEP 01
Press the safety lock and touch the paddle to the bug. The fly swatter fires at 2,500 V, the mosquito swatter at 2,750 V. No wind-up swing needed — contact is enough.
STEP 02
Static charge keeps the bug on the paddle instead of dropping it. It stays put while you walk to the trash can.
STEP 03
A light shake over the bin and it releases. Rinse the paddle if you want to. Done.
No pickup. No paper towel. No looking for where it landed.
The two swatters
One is built to reach. One is built to cover. The set gives you both.

In Taiwan the two-piece set outsold every single-swatter option we offered. Reach and coverage are different jobs.

Why we made this
When a roach showed up in the house, nobody in our family had to ask what happened next. Grandma got there first. Slipper in hand, no hesitation, straight at it. The wall took some damage. So did the roach. She'd clean it up afterward, laughing, telling us there was nothing to be scared of.
She's older now. We're the ones who go in first.
ZAPPER+ started as a gift for her — something light enough for her wrist, something that reaches the corner without a windup swing, something that holds onto the bug instead of leaving it on her floor for her to pick up. Then we realized we'd built the thing every one of us had wanted since we were kids and too scared to move.
So here it is. A bug zapper with grandma energy: brave first, clean after, and completely unbothered.
We built the swatter she'd have wanted. Then we needed one too.
We're a product team out of Taiwan — product managers, engineers, photographers, designers — with a long stretch of consumer electronics behind us. We tend to fixate on the small daily annoyances everybody has decided to just live with, and then rebuild the thing that causes them.
Rigorous development testing and safety validation, so the thing works the way we said it would.
Careful attention to how a product feels in the hand, not just what it does.
High performance without the high price. We refuse to make that a tradeoff.
FAQ
When the paddle discharges, the bug picks up a static charge and clings to the paddle surface instead of falling. It's temporary — a light shake over the trash can releases it. That's the whole point: the bug ends up in the bin rather than on your floor.
Yes. The grid is a patented conductive thermoplastic rather than metal wire, so you can rinse the paddle under running water or wipe it down with a cloth. Let it dry before you use it again. This is the part traditional wire-mesh zappers can't do.
It charges over USB Type-C — the same cable as most phones and laptops. Power input is 5 V 0.5 A and output is 1 W, so the draw is low. We'll publish tested runtime figures before launch rather than guess at them here.
The fly swatter bends up to 120°, the mosquito swatter up to 90°. The paddle sits on a flexible conductive frame, so it's designed to flex — pressing it flat against a wall, a ceiling corner, or the floor under a bed is normal use, not abuse.
If your problem crawls — roaches, things in corners, things behind furniture — the fly swatter's long handle and 120° bend are what you want. If your problem flies — mosquitoes, fruit flies, gnats — the round mosquito swatter covers more air per swing. Most people in our Taiwan campaign took both, which is why the set exists.
There's a press-to-fire safety lock on the handle — the grid only carries charge while you're actively holding the button down. The mosquito swatter adds an accidental-contact guard over the grid. Rated output is 1 W. As with any electric swatter, keep it away from children and don't touch the grid while the button is pressed.
One year from delivery. If a unit fails because of a material or manufacturing defect, we repair or replace it. Send us your order details plus photos, video, or a description of the problem and we'll take it from there. Return shipping on warranty claims is the customer's responsibility.
